Papi came home from a work trip today. He brought me back this blank book. "What am I supposed to do with this," I asked him. "Write in it, mi quedro," he answered. For my 16 year old sister Maria he brought a beautiful necklace. I asked if she wanted to trade me and she called for Mami. She can be such el tattletale. For Evelyn at 7 years, he brought a cloth doll. I asked if she would trade me and she looked at you. "I can't abrazar it," she said. That's well. Between you and me I would have MUCH preferred the necklace. Maybe I can ask Maria if I can look at it sometimes. Maybe, even touch it. While we're at it, I can ask Papi yet again if I can get my ears perforodo. More tomorrow. My hand is tired. Papi, if you're reading this next time you travel for work, bring me back a presente that I can actually use.
